Sunday will see the 177th Premier League meeting between Aston Villa and Manchester United and with 91 wins it’s the Red Devils that hold sway in the overall league meetings – with Villa notching 45 and 40 draws.
Manchester United are hard to keep out of the football news at the moment – having been thumped 3-0 by Spurs last Sunday and they letting a 2-0 lead slip in Europe in the week – to draw 3-3 with Porto.
